What begins with a scuffle in the men's room concludes with a man jumping or maybe being pushed off the hotel roof. Detective Michael Bennett
is called to the scene. As he scans the hotel room, he notices small
clues that point towards homicide not suicide. The medical examiner has
two very unusual pieces of information to share with Det. Bennett.
First, while performing the autopsy she discovered the deceased had
swallowed a condom prior to his death. Inside was a small piece of paper
with a group of seemingly random numbers printed on it. Second, the
dead man's name was Stephen Eardley...USAF pilot that died in combat
years ago.

Doors were quickly
slammed in Bennett's face at the Pentagon. He is flabbergasted that no
one is interested in finding out how USAF pilot Eardley just died in NY, even though he perished in firey crash serving his country in Iraq? Flustered and about to head home, Bennett receives a private message that sends him
to Pennsylvania. The GPS and cell phone indicated he was way past the
boonies, in the middle of nowhere when he arrived at his destination. He decided to wait when he got no response from ringing the buzzer. Sitting there, in the middle of nowhere it dawned on him that this wasn't a good idea. But that realization
came to late. He had already gone from hunter to hunted.
Professional killers? Mercenaries? They got the drop on Bennett and now
it would take all his cunning and an incredible stroke of luck to get
out of the handcuffs, out of their truck and out of this alive.

This
is a good book. I enjoyed it. It's not a real-life, docu-drama kinda
story. Yes you have to suspend reality a little. But isn't that what
fiction does? Takes us away from what is real and entertains us. I liked
Grandpa...the veteran that had one more good fight left. And his
granddaughter was a smart lil girl that had nerves of steel.

Danny Mastrogiorgio's narration is wonderful. The pitch, tone and rhythm
are specific for each character - making them feel and sound like real
people. Chase is a fun, entertaining way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
